And in Iraq, our mistake was the president listening to Colin Powell when he said, “If you break it, you own it.” That is very bad advice. We should have just broken it and left. As soon as Saddam Hussein had been taken care of, we should have pulled out the next day and let them fix their own prob...

Best explanation I ever heard of the fallacy of Daylight Savings Time went something like this — You have a rug that is six feet long. You cut a foot off of one end of the rug and stitch it onto the other end. Then you convince yourself that the rug is now seven feet long. https://www.picgifs.com/em...

The speech is known for its famed first line, which opened with Roosevelt saying, "Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy..." Not "day". Correction noted.

Just a thought here — When Japan launched a surprise air strike against United States assets and resources in Hawaii back in December 1941, it was described as a "day that would live in infamy", and was quickly followed by a declaration of all-out war, which dragged on for four years and ended only ...

What happens to bad rainbows? https://i1.sndcdn.com/avatars-000101606176-c6k9cq-t200x200.jpg They go to prism. Yeah, I know...    It's a light sentence, but it still gives them time to refract. https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-emoticons/cycling/smileys-cycling-022395.gif -"BB"-

Boy, what a coincidence — I also got a haircut yesterday.

Then the barber asked me, "Aren't you going to cut the rest of them too?"

I'll kick in fifteen bucks, Meade. Just let me know in a PM how to get it to you.

By the way, the Washington Post today had an interesting little item pointing out that the Official Federal holiday calendar still calls this day George Washington's Birthday. It has never been official changed to 'president day ' and so far Trump has not noticed. snailgate. My Google calendar on m...

FWIW, BSG, most stores will offer a special sale price on corned beef brisket the closer you get to the week of St. Paddy's Day.

Aside from the fact that I never thought I'd see the day when 'that word' was so casually used in a political advertisement, I completely agree with her. And for the same reasons as BSG, this is one of the rare times when a Wisconsinite like me wishes he were a FIB. https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons...

It should be clear that many Puerto Ricans do not want to become Americans in the cultural sense. English is America’s unifying language, and almost everyone in the mainland speaks it.

US President Donald Trump framed his sweeping rollback of federal climate change policy on Thursday as a political win over the Democratic Party's "radical" environmental agenda, reprising a message Republicans have used in past elections and could turn to once again ahead of November's crucial mid...

Now I’m afraid that, in less than a generation, we will fight Russia, and we are much less prepared—especially psychologically—for what may come. It is most likely to happen in the Arctic, where they have the advantage. True, their forces there have been reduced somewhat, but their bases and suppli...

And lest someone thinks overstaying the visa waiver program 90 days is a problem, yes, the person overstaying can be deported (and really has no defense to it as an agreement to accept deportation and leave on request is part of the VWP), but there is an exception to the marriage visa program which...

Cheers John; RIP. I wonder if they will put up a little plaque for me.

And honestly, is it really a wise decision to carry a weapon into a situation where you already expect a high probability of confrontation? If you believe there’s a real chance you might be forced to use that weapon, wouldn’t it be wiser to avoid the area entirely or simply leave the weapon at home...
